Here2Talk: Free counseling services for post-secondary students:
Mental health is a high priority, and to ensure students have the supports they need when they need them, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training has relaunched Here2Talk, a mental health campaign that will inform and remind students of available support services and how they can access them. Here2Talk exclusively serves all college and university students and the unique challenges they experience. It allows students to connect with trained counselors for free, 24/7, and on multiple platforms including web, phone, or via the Here2Talk App. Upon request and availability, phone and chat services are also available in multiple languages such as French, Spanish, Mandarin, and Punjabi to accommodate those who prefer to converse in their first language.
